What Are You Afraid Of?: Stories about Phobias

"An excellent collection on a topic that holds a strange and fascinating allure." — SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNALEveryone is afraid of something. But for those with phobias, that fear is exaggerated: the throat tightens; the heart races. The ten stories in this anthology all present people with debilitating anxiety — from a gripping portrait of a teen with agoraphobia to a humorous tale of a boy who dreads his girlfriend’s cat. Whether the trigger is clowns, knives, string, or crossing the street, the characters in these stories confront, are confronted by, and sometimes even overcome their worst fears.
